I believe in democracy and fairness. Our First-Past-The-Post voting system can deliver dictatorial governments and unfair and extreme results. A party with a majority of seats gets all of the power and can stop listening to anyone but their insiders. That’s not good for democracy. I support Proportional Representation because it’s fair – a party’s share of seats equals its share of votes – and holds extreme results in check.
